Being able to delay spitters until the biters are dealt with is what I want. Then walk up closer to spit, get pushed back when they stop, and cancel it again.īiters will rush past it almost immediately, but hopefully you got enough turrets to kill them before they reach, or got walls.įor me, most of my turret damage comes from the unblockable damage dealt by spitters while they mow down the biters before they get close enough. Spitters will stand on it to shoot, get pushed out of range, then cancel the shot. If there are enough biters on their sides such that they cannot move ANYWHERE for a second or so, they will enrage and bite anything nearby, including the belts.Ī really good strategy is to observe where the spitters stand to spit, then put a line of single length belts around the perimeter right there. Factorio Blueprint book with all blueprints from Nilaus's Master Class series. The ones in back will have to stop and try to run around. It works, but if the horde is sufficiently large enough, the ones in front being pushed back or slowed by the belts will clump up the group. Wow, this is a super cheesy hacky tip, I love it! I'd never considered that, will have to give it a try. However, because Biters are slowed down by belts, the belts will delay the Biters reaching the wall and thus effectively increase the delay between the Biter's entering your turret range and when they reach the wall or turrets to finally attack.

(It could store one, but there would be no room for anything to use the power.) The more advanced armors should almost always use portable fusion reactors instead. Biter pathing will not be obstructed by the belts, and the turrets will be attacking the Biters, so the Biters will ignore the belts. Portable solar panels are 1×1 in size and are therefore primarily used in modular armor, which has a 5×5 grid that cannot usefully hold a much more powerful 4×4 portable fusion reactor. However, if the pathing algorithm determines that it would be faster to go through the obstacle than around it, it will retarget whatever the obstacle is.Ĭonventional wisdom is to game the mechanics by putting Express Belts in front of your walls, pointing away from your turrets. Thus, if you were to put something else in front of your turrets and they can just go around that to attack your turrets, they'll do that. Prioritization happens when they're engaged in combat, like Petarglio has discovered- if while in route to their x,y target or after getting there, they tend to re-target when attacked. (Edit: Attacking transport belts when other, more polluting things existed to draw their ire.) I've had Biters attack an outpost (because of pollution), and then just randomly rampage through it until I arrive to wipe them out. No, aggro is based on a geographic target (x,y coordinates), and then semi random from there. So sure your solar panel will never be attacked if there is a turret near by, besides it does not pollute.

So I believe in order of agression it's Turrets > Sources of pollution > Other things. Put the ZIP in your mods folder (do not extract) (Factorio/mods) Description: Added 10x, 100x and 1.000x Solar Panels and Accumulator for better space management To craft you need: 1 - Do 'Big Solar Panel' research after 'Solar Energy' and/or 'Big Accumulator' research after 'Electric Energy Store' Requires: Factorio Version: 16. .// Accumulators = //.// = Solar Panels //.//Īccumulators = //.// Solar Panels = //.// Power Output = //.Originally posted by Liogal:Yeah, turrets and players aggro the aliens pretty well. Also there should be an option to reduce the ammount.

Where only the text fields needed for imput are available for input (the others are greyed out). O - Calculate based on needed power output. O - Calculate based on available solar panels,

O - Calculate ideal ratio (for the big numbers with whole numbers), Which would result in more people using it. It could get some additions to the interface, which would it make really noob and user friendly. Search the tags for mining, smelting, and advanced production blueprints.

I feel like the mod only has the minimum needed features to work. Find blueprints for the video game Factorio. When beginners in math have results with formulas which appear wrong to them, they get unsure. :-) 'I want feature this and that.' Maybe you never had this issue of my example. With the basic accu (5MJ) and the 2nd solar panel (400kW).

On the planet I was using the mod I had a ratio of 1967258080 : 799067251. Like that known 21:25 ration on Nauvis in the Vanilla game. What put me off was the big numbers of the ratios that can happen. I spent more time with the interface of the mod and figured it out. Would you enjoy it, when more people enjoy this mod?
